Dont care what race but the videos of dismembered bodies posted recently etc are far from the wave sailing and videos that i post ;-( what the **** is wrong with people.

i dont understand what happening over there but the stuff being posted is very saddening .
Im glad i didn't give the labor party to much grief in my last post .

I think all governments are coming to the end of their use by date, in Oz we must look like dairy cows to them because they are finding more and more ways to milk every last cent out of us.......time for a new system....any one for a revolution?

I havnt been there or have any friends but I'm quite sure the freedoms and economies afforded to the people of Australia are something the lybians are looking to replicate rather than finding themselves critiquing. If I was to compare it I would say they were fighting for a succession of multiple red heads as opposed to say 30 years of Howard....
Imagine how hard it would of been to get him to drop out... Just ask Paul.

Anyway now look what youve done, all this talk of revolution has got pm33 all fired up and speaking in code so he doesnt get caught talking about a conspiracy!!!!

I didn't see the vid but it is quite distressing,

I'm happy I'm a cow getting half a lush paddock rather than a cow with very little grass at all.

Its been speculated that the rising costs of living has been the straw that broke the camels back for the Tunisian, Egytian and now Libyan regimes.

My personal experience is income tax has come down a fair bit since the early 1990s but the cost of living has gone up a lot. The CPI doesn't show the real increase in the cost of living because otherwise the government would be out of pocket having to pay more for benefits, pensions and wages. Some things like computers and consumer goods are counted in the CPI while other things most notably housing is excluded. Bit silly when its unlikely you will own a 42 inch plasma screen unless you have a house of some sort.


So workers, families and pensioners are being ripped off. When you get your 3% cpi pay increase it means you are falling behind.

On the one hand the income tax reductions are welcomed but on the other rising costs are not. So if the cost of living continues to rise and more working people sink into debt and become bankrupt a revolution will happen here too.

Its such a slow way for citizens to damage their own cities.
They should just send Ricky Ponting there to smash it up for them.

but shareholders (workers with super), people who purchase from companies who don't give workers big pay rises (families who buy stuff) and shareholders (pensioners) are doing better

If you're talking about Aus, then I'm not sure if I agree with you. After spending a few years doing maintenance work in housing commission homes, you'd be surprised at the amount of 'pensioners' (mostly 20-40yo/s) that can't afford the basics, but have the best, biggest & latest tvs, video games, sound systems, pcs, clothes, and whilst their kids are zoning out on the 42inch tvs, they're drinking bourbon cans by the slab and chain smoking...but can't afford to pay rent or pay bills.

Exactly My parents who are in now their 80's both still do voluntary work for Vinnie's, and they see this scenario day in day out when delivering assistance to a number of so call "disadvantaged" family's. My Dad wont judge them, just hands over what he needs to, grins and moves on to the next group needing assistance

No what I am saying is the CPI does not really keep track of the cost of living. From what I understand the Australian Bureau of Statistics creates a basket of goods the average consumer buys and then give different weight to different items. Critics of the CPI argue the weighing makes the CPI inaccurate. The reserve bank no longer uses the CPI in its calculations.

Of course some people on subsidised incomes sometimes don't spend their money wisely. I used to work for the DSS/Centrelink as an investigator. This was in the days before plasma TVs but there were the equivalents back in the 90s.

Anyway its pleasing to see the people of the Middle East overthrowing their corrupt dictators. It doesn't take an American invasion to achieve regime change. Clearly the next step will be to overthrow the thoroughly corrupt and anti democratic house of Saud. When this happens its probably the Americans will invade Arabia in order to support the Saudi family. Of course it will be explained this invasion or coup is required to stop the country falling to Islamic radicals. Another lie peddled out.

Hopefully the people who do overthrow their governments can set up systems of liberty where the government fears the people and push the times where the people feared the government into the history books.
